For me absolutely not. I am only diagnosed as "sex disorder", got bad blood results, and I get pushed around, because no one feels qualified to deal with me. I feel like people treat me like a zoo attraction. I had psychiatrists ask me to show them my body and touch me, because they were curious. Doctors get angry with me for not yet being diagnosed, question why I'm not yet diagnosed, don't diagnose me themselves, and then end up telling me they're not qualified enough. And then the next doctor it happens again. They don't even do new tests, they do the exact same tests, then get the same results, then act angry and tell me to find a more specialized doctor. I was told by multiple ones I need a brain scan to see if there's something off there, but then no one forwards me to one. My blood results suggest I will or actively am losing bone density.

I don't want anyone's advice or input on my case tbh. I'm tired of people playing Dr House with me.

Honest question: Is intersex even a disorder (with severe health impacts), or is it just viewed as a disorder by society because they are bigoted?

Either way, intersex people are cool flag-intersex-pride hexbear-intersex

Depends on the condition. Intersex is a catch all terms for sex disorders.
